High school notebook: Millbrook boys basketball players make the transition

Millbrook scored all 25 of its third-quarter points off turnovers and in transition Wednesday night in a 91-57 boys’ basketball victory over Leesville Road.

The Wildcats (16-1, 7-0 Cap Eight) used their stingy defense and quick transition play to turn a 13-point halftime lead into a nearly 30-point edge heading into the final quarter.

Leesville's Ben Zemonek's shot from three-quarters length of the court at the buzzer pulled the score to 64-37 to end the third quarter. Zemonek led the Pride (10-7, 5-2) with 16 points, and sophomore Alex Hunter added 15 in the loss.
